Find all Part ID numbers in Creo Drawing

I have a drawing with a lot of parts and want to make parametric notes but want an easy way to find all the ID numbers attached to show the parametric value of each individual part.

 

For example:

 

&PTC_MATERIAL_NAME:300 would be one material of a part and &PTC_MATERIAL_NAME:301 would be another. Is there an easy way to find all those identifier numbers at once?

This usually works well. It works the best if you start with a new session of creo and only open the drawing. Session numbers in a creo session that has opened a lot of files can get really big. I start with zero. I use model_name since it is a system parameter instead.

&model_name:0
&model_name:1
&model_name:2
&model_name:3
&model_name:4

Hi,

I guess your drawing contains assembly as drawing model. How about using a repeat region.

Martin,

 

This drawing is for a bunch of oring sizes that are all different formed shapes, so they will not be an assembly

Hi,

If I were you, I'd create an auxiliary assembly that contains all oring sizes. If you have hundreds of such parts, then note that it is possible to automate the assembly of these parts (e.g. by generating a trail file).
